Slow Cooker Cuban Vaca Frita
Vaca Frita (which translates literally to “fried cow”) is by far my favorite Cuban recipe. The first time I tasted it in a restaurant I knew I had to recreate it at home. While it does take 2 days from start to finish to complete, the hands on time is very limited and it is actually really simple to make in your slow cooker. After slow cooking, the meat is marinated overnight and then quickly fried in some high-quality fat to make crispy-tender beef that is bursting with flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I hope you enjoy 🙂

Time-saving slow cooker roast
I love my slow cooker. It saves me SO much time in the kitchen by allowing me to cook in bulk to either eat from for several days in a row or portion and freeze for later. One-pot-meals in the slow cooker sure are great, but sometimes I just don’t want to eat the same thing in a row for several days. So, I got the idea to start cooking up my roasts with a bare minimum of additional ingredients, or sometimes, with nothing extra at all, so that the meat can be used in a wide range of different final dishes. Since the meat is minimally seasoned, I can reheat it in any number of recipes, using whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand.
